Jim, I have been praying for you and your sons from the moment I heard the news of your beloved son Hunter's passing. My heart breaks for you and I know the pain that you have. I believe running into you recently at the Healing Center was divinely appointed. You so encouraged me that day with your kind words and understanding. I offer you the same empathy now.

Richard and Clarice Laverdure
March 25, 2017
Jim I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Hunter. As you know Clarice and I lost our son Jonathan in September of 2014. If there is anyone as a dad that truly understands what you are going through it would be me. I told you shortly after Jonathan's passing that I had so much anger that I couldn't speak to anyone not even you. If you have these feelings I may be one of the few that understand. Any questions that you may have or just want to sit on the phone and cry as I did many times I'm just a phone call away. I won't dwell on, "I don't know what to say" because no one but a few understand this kind of hurt and pain. I will say that if there is anything that Clarice and I can do for you and your family please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We the very few understand and sympathize with all the confusion, hurt and pain that you are feeling. Clarice and I will pray that God gives you the peace and understanding that you will need to get through the days, months and years ahead. Again, we are so sorry for you and your family, please reach out if you feel you need to speak to someone that understands your loss more than anyone else. God Bless you and your family.

I cant believe that Hunter is gone. I was one his friends growing up. He and I went to Myrtle Grove christian School together, we were in the same grade. He was a very kind and compassionate young man. He always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by so many people. Rest in Peace Hunter. You will be missed dude.
